#38 - Section: Visiting a data center
Netizens were also surprised to find that they could log in and cheered.
“It’s really not lagging anymore, it’s amazing!”
“I got in with one click. Is it because no one is visiting at this time?”
“Impossible, this is peak time.”
“Then what exactly is going on? Please explain?”
“Now you can only inquire, but you can’t buy train tickets.”
“I don’t know, in short, the railway department is awesome, forgive my previous recklessness.”
“I didn’t expect the railway department to be bronze, but I didn’t expect it to be a stubborn bronze.”
Downstairs of the Railway Department office building.
“Director Lu, can I take a look at your servers?” Cui Sheng asked.
“Of course,” Lu Haifeng replied.
Cui Sheng said: “Then we will bother you tomorrow.”
Lu Haifeng replied: “Okay, you’re welcome, but you need to bring a few programmers. After arriving at our company, our company’s employees can give them some training.”
“Okay, okay, okay, Director Lu is so thoughtful, thank you so much,” Cui Sheng thanked him repeatedly.
Lu Haifeng chartered a plane back to Piao City. It was a bit late when they arrived in Piao City, so he found a hotel to arrange for them to stay, and then took them to visit the next day.
The next day, he took Cui Sheng and the others to the Huaxing Data Center. Cui Sheng looked at the construction site in front of him in confusion and asked: “This is your data center?”
Lu Haifeng said: “This is the second phase of the data center, which has not yet started construction. Go forward a bit and you will reach the first phase. The first phase is basically completed.”
After a few minutes, Lu Haifeng said: “Director Cui, we have arrived.”
“Is it in that building ahead?” Cui Sheng asked curiously.
Lu Haifeng nodded and said, “Yes, I want Li Jun to take you to visit the data center, after all, he is more familiar with it than me.”
“Li Jun, you lead everyone to visit our Huaxing Data Center,” Lu Haifeng said.
Then Li Jun introduced as he walked: “Currently, we are in the first phase of the Huaxing Data Center, which is actually a data center with a slightly laboratory nature. The scale is a bit small.”
Everyone followed Li Jun on a grand tour of the first phase of the Huaxing Data Center!
At first, everyone didn’t see anything special, until Li Jun led them to a door. Li Jun stood in front of a screen at the door, and the door opened.
The use of facial recognition to open the door made everyone’s eyes light up. Isn’t this a scene from a movie? Huaxing Data Center also has quite a bit of technical content.
At this time, everyone’s curiosity was once again raised. What exactly is behind the door?
It’s just that what disappointed everyone was that when the door opened, it was pitch black inside, with only flashing starlight, and it was impossible to see what it was.
However, when Li Jun pressed the lighting switch inside, everything changed.
As the lights shone, rows of giant servers like train heads appeared in front of everyone, and looking around, they stood solemnly like an army on parade.
Such a spectacular scene made everyone gasp.
“Wow.”
“Damn.”
“Awesome.”
This is like a scene from a science fiction blockbuster. If they weren’t on the scene, people would have thought it was a science fiction film made by Huaxing Data Center.
This is Huaxing’s blatant show off! Absolute crushing, everyone on the scene was shocked. In the shock of everyone.
Li Jun also said a sentence: “Currently, we have five floors in this data center, this is just one of them. On the third floor, there is also a supercomputer ranked in the top five in the world. All the servers on these five floors are based on this supercomputer.”
What else could everyone do besides be shocked? “This is just one of them,” “A supercomputer ranked in the top five in the world,” “A real data center”… They could only continue to be shocked.
In fact, if Huaxing took out a single server, everyone would think it was nothing special. The key is that Huaxing put so many servers together and connected them all, which is very awesome.
It’s like one person doing Tai Chi, everyone will think it’s nothing, but what about thousands or tens of thousands of people, and the movements are uniform? If you want to see such a shocking scene, you can only see it at the 08 Olympic Games.
And Li Jun is still playing the role of a tour guide in an orderly manner, introducing this for a while, and talking about that for a while…
He casually opened a server cabinet and introduced: “Our server is customized by the Huaxing Research Institute. One server can top ten ordinary servers, and they are all modular designs, supporting hot-swappable technology…”.
“This is our backup large diesel generator set as an emergency backup, and our data center itself is equipped with multiple power supply lines,…”.
“This is our water-cooling unit, used to dissipate heat and cool the server,…”.
Everyone is already used to it, continuing to be shocked…, after visiting this data center, Li Jun said to them with a smile: “Our Huaxing Data Center has the most advanced equipment and top-notch network operation and maintenance engineering team, which can provide customers with one-stop professional outsourcing services.”
“Including basic telecommunications services such as server hosting and enterprise access; management services such as network security, network acceleration, storage backup, and website monitoring; application services such as website construction and website integration…”
After visiting around, Cui Sheng asked in shock: “Director Lu, how many servers are there?”
“50,000 on each floor, a total of 200,000 on four floors, and there is a supercomputer on one floor,” Lu Haifeng replied.
Good fellow, he was directly shocked. Cui Sheng nodded. He really gained knowledge today, and then asked: “Then how do you guarantee smooth operation?”
Lu Haifeng patiently explained: “We have artificial intelligence elastic computing power. For example, the query from Yanjing to Meng Province is relatively small, then we only need to adjust a few servers or dozens of them.”
“For example, there are more people from Modu to Sichuan Province, we can mobilize thousands or tens of thousands of them.”
“All of this operation is done by artificial intelligence, not manually.”
“Only a part of the servers here are running, and the others are in standby mode.”
Cui Sheng asked puzzledly: “Why not run all of them?”
